Gevalia Foam at Home House Party

~~ Edited to note that my BFF, Jackie made some awesome sausage pinwheels and I have no idea why I didn't mention it in the original post because they were scrumptious! ~~

This
past Monday night, I hosted a Gevalia Foam at Home House Party with
some of my friends and it was a really fun night. I was selected to host
this House Party last month and was so excited when I found out I was
one of 5,000 people who got to host. I sent out invites and then last
week sent out a reminder to everyone with the menu. I decided on brunch
food which was actually a first for our group. As many times as we have
gotten together, we have never had brunch food and it turned out to be
such a great idea.

I
made a breakfast casserole on Sunday night that had smoked sausage in
it as opposed to breakfast sausage that so many breakfast casseroles
have and baked it on Monday when I got home. It was the first time I had made this particular casserole and it
turned out really great. It had a great flavor to it and everyone seemed
to like it. Here is a link if you are interested in checking it out.
Kendra brought a delicious hashbrown casserole that was yummier than any
other I have ever had. It was super cheesy and so good. Erika made
pumpkin bread which is one of her specialties this time of year and it
was good as always. Amanda brought fresh fruit and a yummy cream cheese
and toffee fruit dip, Amberly brought doughnuts, and Candy brought some
orange juice in case anyone needed a break from all the coffee.

We
go started about 6:30 and I began brewing drinks for everyone using the
Keurig. The Gevalia drinks we were sampling are specific to Keurig
brewers. The boxes come with a packet of goodness that makes the drink
foam. Then, you place the K-Cup in the Keurig as always and brew like
normal. The drinks come out really yummy as you can see from our
comments below. The party pack also came with some toppers where we
could have made designs in our foam but while I was brewing, I had
forgotten about those so we didn't use them. I was also given coupons to
pass out to the girls who wanted one.

It
was a fun night of fellowship with good friends, good food, and good
coffee. You can read what each of us thought about the drinks below.
